When Jingwen said that he wanted to set up a metropolitan palace, that is, the Annan Grand Metropolitan Protectorate, everyone finally understood what Jingwen meant. Jingwen played this trick well, and he actually threw out the idea of sending troops on an expedition first, and then everyone would inevitably oppose it. Because fools know that it is impossible to send a large army to attack Linyi now, Jingwen deliberately brought it up, and he didn't think that he could pass Guò. But then Jingwen also put forward a plan, that is, to send a capable person, and then let him persuade those Linyi countries to become the Tang Dynasty's fetters, and then he could recover this Linyi country peacefully.

And this Linyi country used to be the land of China, but now it is independent. So if you can recover this land with your "tongue" this time, it will be good. As for the civil officials, they still like this method, because if they can rely on their mouths to persuade others to merge into the Tang Dynasty, then the civil officials can also expand their territory. Therefore, Jingwenti yì set up the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, which is not completely impossible. So everyone agreed, but how was this Dadu Protectorate set up?

"Your Majesty, the minister has only heard of the Metropolitan Protectorate, but what is the Metropolitan Protectorate?" One person asked.

And Li Shimin immediately said: "According to my official position in the Tang Dynasty, the Duhu Mansion is just a positive third product." And I plan to set up a Dadu Protectorate, the grade is from the second grade, and the control area of this Metropolitan Protectorate is larger than that of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the right to independence is greater. The Dadu Protectorate has the right to mobilize the garrison, and has the right to collect the tribute from those feudal states on behalf of our Datang, and can draw some people from the local people to form a garrison army. Even within the scope of his authority, he can independently declare his might to some small countries, and he can conduct small-scale operations without consulting my Datang Center. ”

And when everyone listened to the composition of this Dadu Protectorate, their brains suddenly rumbled. The power of this metropolitan protectorate is also too great, and it seems that they are all independent princes and feudal officials! And not only can you control the place. It can also mobilize troops, and even independently declare power against those small countries, and mobilize troops to deter those small countries. This is really an out-and-out local prince.

However, the only drawback is that those state capitals are all fetters and cannot cooperate 100% with that metropolitan protection. However, this right is also big enough, it is simply a breakthrough in the Tang Dynasty's control of the army, as well as the division of civil and military rights.

But everyone also thought about the conditions there, and they all had nothing to say. Because of the communication problems of this era, it is impossible for them to send the communication back for instructions at any time. If everything is sent back to the center for instructions, there is no need to do anything. So this must grant them the right to be independent. Otherwise, you won't be able to control them at all. However, they are indeed a prince, and this is also indisputable. The Dadu Protector of this Dadu Protector Mansion is from the second grade, and the position is not low!

In the past, the Metropolitan Protectorate was just a coordinating body for the Prefecture, but this Metropolitan Protectorate actually had the right to directly manage it, which is not ordinary. And they have military power, and the deterrent power of those frontier states is not the slightest bit.

However, this is also Jingwen's request, after all, this Annan Metropolitan Protectorate is not a nominal territory like in the past, but a colony. as a colony. The people of the colony will definitely resist, after all, they are colonists, and the people there will naturally not be willing to be exploited. If there is no right to transfer troops, I am afraid that it will not be possible to suppress the people in those places at all. Therefore, it was necessary to grant the Protectorate of Annam, a certain amount of military power. Otherwise, Datang would not be able to exploit the people there at all.

And this is actually a copy of the colonial system of the West in later generations, and the colonial governors of the West all have military power, and if they do not have military power, they will not be able to suppress local rebellions. And China's military control system is actually not suitable for colonial expansion. Since the colonial system is to be introduced. That is, to keep up with the system. Although controlling the military power can prevent local independence and the formation of warlords. But now that colonies were to be established, it was impossible to follow the traditional method. So Jingwen also took it. Learn from the colonial system of the West, and then grant the Protectorate, which is similar to the position of governor, to take the place of the central government to handle the affairs of these colonies. If you are on guard while appointing, it is impossible to reassure the official who was sent out.

In addition, Datang actually does not regard these territories as its own territory, but completely as colonies, so even if it accidentally loses part of the land for a while, it will not be too painful. As for the metropolitan protectors of those colonies, it would be completely possible for them to keep their families in the country and send certain people to supervise them, which would also prevent them from having any problems.

"Your Majesty, if you can't believe it, then we might as well follow the methods of the army and adopt a committee system. We send a group of people and set up a committee, and if something happens and everyone votes on it, it can also prevent the monopoly. Jingwen said.

When they heard about the military's committee system, everyone was initially relieved, because after all, this committee system can be said to be obvious to all. At present, it is implemented in the army, that is, let everyone vote together to solve the problem, so as to avoid the dominance of the army, and then affect the control of the army by the superiors. Therefore, if the committee system is used in this metropolitan protectorate, it will be a lot more reassuring.

"Also, we might as well let the prince or prince come to lead the capital protector of this metropolitan protectorate, so that we can further avoid various problems. In fact, it is the long history of the Dadu Protectorate and Sima who are responsible for leading the civil and military officials in the Dadu Protectorate, so at least there is no problem in terms of righteousness. ”

I heard that the prince asked the prince to come to the remote to lead the Dadu Protector of the Metropolitan Protectorate, that is, he could control the Metropolitan Protectorate on the official position, at least nominally, the Metropolitan Protectorate was still under the control of the royal family. This is just like those capital governors, so that they can be concurrently served by the royal family, so as to maintain the rule of the royal family. And now this Dadu Protectorate can also be led by the prince of the royal family, which means that you can rest assured.

"Your Majesty, then who will we send to envoy this Linyi country, and then take advantage of the situation to form this Annan Metropolitan Protectorate?" Someone immediately took the initiative to ask. (To be continued......)
